Natural Choice Large Breed Puppy is unique because it provides superior nutrition and taste while being highly digestible and easy on the stomach. Using a special blend of poultry fat, soybean oil, and sunflower oil to provide high levels of linoleic acid (min 3.5%) and alpha-linolenic acid (min 0.3%), these omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids have been combined with other key vitamins and minerals to help provide the healthy skin and shiny coat that shows the love and care you give your dog.
Controlled Growth Formula®
Large and giant breeds are prone to rapid growth, which could lead to hip and joint problems. Our Controlled Growth Formula® provides a unique blend of key nutrients needed to help maintain healthy, balanced growth-from weaning to maturity.
Small Stool Volume
High digestibility means small, compact stools for easy cleanup. That means more nutrition for your dog and less backyard cleanup.
Balanced Growth
Research shows that large breed puppies have a reduced requirement for calcium-phosphorus for healthy balanced growth of the skeletal system. Excess weight can cause bone and joint problems in large breed puppies. Natural Choice Large Breed Puppy provides the optimum calcium-phosphorus requirement and protein and fat levels. Natural Choice Large Breed Puppy provides L-Carnitine which helps utilize fat for lean muscle growth.
Guaranteed to Improve Skin and Coat*
With high levels of linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid, combined with other key vitamins and minerals, we guarantee your puppy will have healthy skin and a shiny coat.*
Great Taste Guaranteed*
We guarantee the great taste of Natural Choice Large Breed Puppy so you can be sure your dog will eat enough to meet its nutritional requirements.*
Natural Ingredients with Vitamins & Minerals
Using natural ingredients with vitamins and minerals, Natural Choice Large Breed Puppy does not use chicken heads, feet or intestines which may be found in products that contain chicken by-product meal. Natural Choice does not contain ground corn, which is less digestible than the rice used in Natural Choice.
Smart System™ for Faster Learning
Formulated with ALA and DHA to help puppies with learning, vision and brain development. Research shows that puppies naturally convert ALA (Alpha-Linolenic Acid) to DHA, an omega-3 fatty acid proven to support brain development and better learning.
